Surf World Series resurrects a classic game genre – Red Bull

“It’s very clear from the moment that you boot Surf World Series up for the first time just how seriously Climax Studios takes the sport. While it’s not immediately obvious from the team’s development history (they made Rocket Knight and the Assassin’s Creed platformer trilogy) it’s in evidence from well before you start paddling out with your board.

Where others may have gone for a full on arcade style sports game like the Tony Hawk’s titles (which the studio say is an influence), Surf World Series is trying to marry some of those sweet, arcade feeling moments with real world physics.”
